Using nanomaterials to create composites that are as well-defined as crystals

Our mission

The objective of the group is to help students become independent, creative, and successful problem-solvers, scientists, and professionals.
This goal is approached by (i) pursuing inventive and meaningful research at the boundaries of disciplines, (ii) engaging students in the pursuit of technical skills as well as soft skills (e.g. leadership, time management, project management, stress reduction, communication, critical thinking), (iii) pursuing understanding, discovery, and invention.

Our latest work

We describe an ionic liquid precursor that enables the safe, scalable, sustainable synthesis of colloidal sulfide nanocrystals at extremely low cost, with high yield and quality at room temperature! Published in Nature Communications
